What metal is obtained from the ore chalcopyrite?
The metal obtained is Copper. Malachite has the formula Cu2CO3(OH)2. The mineral has a stunning green/turquoise colour.
Do much of the worlds copper is contained in the mineral ore?
Chalcopyrite which is a copper iron sulphide mineral with formula CuFeS2.
How is copper obtained from it's sulphide ore write the balance chemical equation?
Copper is obtained from its sulfide ore by smelting, where the copper sulfide is heated in the presence of oxygen, producing copper metal and sulfur dioxide gas. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is: 2Cu2S + 3O2 -> 2Cu + 2SO2
What two minerals are commercial sources of iron?
The ore which contains both iron and copper is chalcopyrite. Its molecular formula is CuFeS2. Its molecular formula shows that it contains both iron as well as copper.
